Statue Sucker Punch 1/4 Scale Statues by Gentle Giant

[madnug]

I have been drooling over the Baby Doll pictures and surprisingly I managed to get one yesterday! I am on a business trip in Tokyo and walked into a second hand toy store (Mandarake for those who know Tokyo) and right there it is a US version of Baby Doll sitting on the shelf facing the entrance! It is only 21000 yen = about $280!!!! Paid for it without skipping a heartbeat! Now I have to go get the rest of the girls....

Was debating if I am gonna get the Hot Toys figures but I guess now I can pass on those and get these bigger babies!!

WOW, that's awesome! Big congrats! Isn't it funny that you're in Japan and happened to get the U.S. version

YEs, I can't believe it! But I also noticed a lot of US toys are not doing that well here. A friend told me he has seen the JP version of Baby Doll selling in Yahoo Japan Auction for as low as only 14000 yen! And I actually picked up a Nightmare Before X-mas June Planning Jack and santa set for only $40US which is going at EBAY for $399!!! CRAZY!

Wow! Congrats on the super sweet pick up!

I think it's funny you had to travel to Japan to get a good deal on the U.S. version!

That's a RIDICULOUSLY great deal, congrats!

What was the shipping on that Nightmare Before X-mas set? (FYI, $399 is some boneheaded asking price, it won't sell for anything like that. But $40 is definitely a great price.

I am going to the post office to mail the NBX set out tomorrow so I will let you know how much it will cost to ship it back state side. The baby doll fits into my luggage so I am just gonna bring her with me

I wonder if eventually the Amber would go down in price a little. They made only 500 Babydoll (well 1000 if you count the JP version) but 1300 Amber. And although Amber is a nice statue on her own? It is hard to imagine someone picking her up without buying Babydoll. Meaning there are inexcessive of at least 300 Ambers out there.

Anyone knows the edition size of the other girls?

Wow just noticed Sweet Pea is SOLD OUT..Didn't even know she was available for pre-order just yet..These Suckerpunch ladies are an unparallelled success for GG:eek

 

[VS1976]

Where is Blonde? Getting ridiculous GG!

 

[Darth Snoopy]

How about Blonde?

Not up for PO yet.

Yah I know. She was ready at SDCC and it really should be up now! I hope GG isn't pushing this till next year. They maybe doing it because the annual membership is up and for people who want it will have to pay that $60 to get her! I hate how GG does there annual membership because if u join late, you don't get the full 12 months.

GG needs to change this policy because if I had known, I would not have join. IMO its a sham to get more money.

GG should have membership program start on the day you purchase it.

You buy the membership today you have until November 7th of 2012 to renew or not.

That is what I said to the customer rep Rob and he said its not how they do the annual membership. His resolution is to offer me a $30 coupon which I can only use for instock items. I will never use the coupon ever.

Not ditching GG, but if they ever want to grow, they need to be change how they conduct the membership policy. I'm not getting sucked into buying the membership again.

Hmmm...that really sucks. They need to change it, IMO. But it's their business. Oh well.
